CYLINDER HEAD AND EXHAUST VALVES.
Location/Item
Action
Remarks
The correct exhaust valve clearance at normal engine operating temperature is important for smooth, efficient
operation of the engine. Whenever the cylinder head is overhauled the exhaust valves are reconditioned or replaced. If
the valve operating mechanism is disturbed in any way, the valve clearance must first be adjusted to the cold setting to
allow for normal expansion of the engine parts during the engine warm-up period. This will insure a valve setting that is
close enough to the specified clearance to prevent damage to the valves when the engine is started.
